Portland GM Neil Olshey said LaMarcus Aldridge has not informed the team that he will be taking his talents elsewhere next season.
“I actually asked him how would you like me to address it,” Olshey told. “He said, ‘Just say it’s not true. You and I know where we’re at right now.'”
The GM’s account contradicts a report that stated Aldridge had already informed the team of his intention to leave via free agency. “It was misreported, it’s not true,” Olshey said.
